I am trying to improve my kick to swim better at my next triathlon. Would you recommend zoomers gold or the Z2? I am a ladies size 8 1 /2 to 9.

I'm a Triathlon Coach - I have my Athlete's use both pairs - I coach all women - 30yr TriathleteThis pair you have to "think" more about using your kick - the gold being shorter and stiffer will hold more true to form w/o much user input - roger@rgartman.com

You really need to get both fins. Each has it's place in your training regimen. Here is a you tube that explains it very well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjDVakmzHHM

Don't know anything about zoomers golf. I do like the finis fins. They make me kick... Something I don't do

I used the Z03 yesterday and caught 8 crappie and one cat, but the Z03, as good as spincasters get in my opinion, has the same constraint that all spincasters have---they don't hold much line, so they are not a good saltwater choice, where much more line is usually required than for most freshwater use.

I used the mfg sizing chart and it was accurate (woman's 9.5/me 's 8 was a Small. This fin gives you a huge amount of assistance, way more than the Zoomers I have used...but you can get a great workout by working hard (but a longer pool is nice!)

Without a doubt. Try using it with Agility and Marathon for best results. I rush scrubs all day long with the gold-plated version.

Chart was accurate for shoe size. Personally i would go to a dive shop if i was diving daily. It is a great set for the price and i would not be afraid to even do a tech dive with that equipment. If i was diving daily i would spend a little more and get sea vision mask and tusa flippers. If you are just snorkeling for oysters and such definite buy. I say med or large.

I think the XS would be fine for you. They fit snugly to go under your fins, and I wear a 7 1/2 US and ordered a S and they were fine for me. You don't want any wrinkles in your socks or else you are going to have blisters on your feet!

Yes I'm a regular swimmer. I swim 3 days a week for 1 hour each, mostly freestyle and a bit of breaststroke style. I've been using Sony mp3 for almost 4 months now and i never had a problem. The key to a successful experience is to use an earbud size that fits tightly in your ear so that no water gets inside. It's basically as if you were using earplugs. To achieve that tight fit means typically using 1 or 2 sizes larger than what you would normally use, for example if you typically a medium like me, you may use a large size or even an XL as i do.

I would get them large, The Fins are adjustable and very comfortable, I swim miles in them, however if you don't make sure the foot is seated in the boot, it would be constricting but you would know by feel. With the larger size performing well at depth would be a cinch. Without any more effort than had you got the smaller pair. Adding some versatility to the whole prospect! Get Wet Soon!

Old discussion now, but I train pretty hard for various (running) races and I don't bother with a HRM, I know which 'zone' I'm in and how long I'll be able to run for based on speed and my breathing so all I need to know is distance and time, that gives me everything I need really, this has been a useful thread for me because I didn't know that the Ant+ was the only difference, so I'll just get the 205! What did you get in the end? Is it good?

I wear a 7 1/2 shoe and purchased a size D in the Finis Yellow Zoomers. They fit perfect and give me a great workout in the pool.

Probably M for Tri swimming. Lengthwise M is the right size but you may feel too tight. But it has to be tight so that no water flowing through. Hope it stretch out after using for a while.

I have a pair of PMX70s and I too wanted an upgrade. I made the mistake of getting the PMX680s which sound like crap--don't waste your money on the 680s! At this point, I'm going to try the PMX90s which are probably not the best for sweaty runners, but for $22 shipped I don't mind giving them a shot. Plus I have an extra set of non-foam pads from my HD25-1 IIs which I will retrofit onto the PMX90 drivers.

Go 1 size up. Speedo is true to size, but TYR runs smaller. I can't speak to chest size, as I'm a 36B but I know these are not made for special breast size. I would recommend not going any other way than a line made for a full chested woman. Just my opinion.

For Triathlon, it's better if you get the Garmin Fenix line. Both fenix 2 and 3 is pretty good watch and supports multi sports mode.

From experience, I would recommend getting the XL. I'm about the same size as you, and I had contacted Finis to confirm before I purchased my pair.
